Beauty and the Blind

Is it beauty that stimulates our imagination and excites our heart,the colors, the 
designs, the shapes,we marvel in awe at them like a baby with it's new toy
What is beauty? asked an old blind man.
Is it as beautiful as the sound of the birds and the bees or the breeze blowing 
through trees.
The rain is beautiful the way it blows with the wind congratulating my body as it 
touches my skin.
Beautiful is the invigorating odors and the fragrance of the flowers i smell when i 
go for morning walks to pick up shells,the greeting of the morning sun always 
reminds me that the day has begun.
Its very beautiful to me when i groom my horses in the barn my heart sings when 
i stroke them with my hand, smooth as silk their body's fell, sounds they make 
once given a meal.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder i was always told,i have never seen anything 
even in my days of old.
Is beauty something that u can only see?i am asking a question will u please tell 
me.
A blind person beauty is not felt by vision-i give you a few examples in some of 
my expression's.
Beauty isn't always above the skin it also lies deep within.
